Description: So just a day after seeing the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer out and about in his brand-new Venom GT Spyder with the cute Lana Del Rey, Steven Tyler decided to post some official pictures of him recei...

Description: "We had to make a few structural changes to our integrated rollcage in order to be able to fit the removable top. This increased the weight of our vehicle by about 30lbs to a curb weight of 2,743...

Patrick JosephMay 30, 2012Ryan. Save yourself some money and cut off your roof with a cutter. Then let me know if the extra money would have been worth it or not.

Phillip GreeneMay 30, 2012Yeah just to cut the top off add in the extra structural components which adds weight so more power is needed and this one is actualy 7.0 not a 6.2 like the others so yeah its a little more expencive

Description: Based on the Lotus Exige, the hyperrcar is powered by a 7.0-liter Hennessey-built twin-turbo V8, and can be ordered with 800, 1000, or, 1200 horsepower. Torque comes in at 1,155lb-ft, and Hennessey cl...

Micah LauMay 30, 2012Later that night, the red head was in Tyler's position handcuffed to the roll cage

Christo SavaidesMay 30, 2012I can definitely see how the roll cage would detract from the open top experience.

Thibault LeroyMay 30, 2012Well when youre in an open top you have the whole sky and everything whereas there it would feel like a prison kinda like you have bars over your head. But i could see how that wouldnt matter when youre driving this car.

Thibault LeroyMay 30, 2012@Michael learn to read i didnt say the rollcage was pointless i said it was pointless to go through all the trouble and money of making a spyder and having a huge rollcage that takes almost as much space as a roof. Of course you need the rollcage it would probably be illegal if it didnt have it.

Renan BarretoMay 30, 2012If that roll cage wasn't there, the A pillar would crumble if that car rolled while doing 60mph. I'm sure if the car killed Steven Tyler in an accident, Hennessey would never sell another Venom again, not to mention all the lawsuits.

Kyle JanchenkoMay 30, 2012I've owned an Exige for a year now, and it is quite possibly the most difficult car to get in and out of, mostly due to the roof overhang and the giant sills. This looks even harder since the bar is even lower than the stock roof.

Mark ReiderMay 30, 2012Look who's going to be driving it, he needs the roll cage. If anything, he just paid 1.1 mil for a coffin. Lol

West WalkerMay 30, 2012Nothing better than paying an additional 150k for a roll cage inside of your spyder. Most people willing to upgrade to the spyder enjoy others parts of driving. Cheesy roll cage LAME

Michael IoiaMay 30, 2012Thibault once again a stupid comment comes from you, you never disapoint. NOT having a roll cage in a spyder with 1244hp & a potential top speed of 275 is just stupid. If the roll cage is built right you may actually survive a high speed crash in it.

Thibault LeroyMay 30, 2012i find that it is a bit pointless to have a spyder if you have a rollcage on the car just ruins the point of it

Luis Daniel AngilelloMay 31, 2012"see that gauge Steve? It shows the level of awesomeness while driving this machine. It stays on high almost always unless you wreck it or you let Paris Hilton borrow it"

Kevin RehbockMay 30, 2012This car doesn't need airbags, his lips will protect him in a crash.

Patrick SchalkMay 30, 2012That's what separates Gear Heads from the general public. I could care less if someone can't appreciate what a car like this can do. Their ignorance isn't gonna stop me from breaking my neck to look at it.

Renan BarretoMay 30, 2012I think Hennessey should of kept this lightweight/overpowered idea but forget all about the lotus design cues and hire someone like Bertone or pininfarina to sketch up something unique.

Abraham MendozaMay 30, 2012Devin, I'm sure regular people don't even know what a Lotus is, so we know what it is, and regular people won't really care. I don't think anyone will mistake this for a lotus.

jesterMay 30, 2012As someone with a few high end cars, I see the speed appeal, but I wouldn't part with 1.1m for this. I would take my Gallardo to UR and get the same performance, better looks, quality, brand, pedigree, for half the price.
This is a dick measuring stick to size up with the Tautara, Veyron, CCX, Agera, etc, and when compared to those, this is rather boring.

Jon WheelMay 30, 2012Ive seen plenty of people eye up Lotuses on the road. They look really exotic. Now this...it will be eye-catching.

Devin BabynMay 30, 2012Pat we might know what it is and what it has but the general public will see it and think wtf is that or what's wrong with that lotus

Dave StewartMay 30, 2012Yea would look like a lotus I would stare.. And then he drives and it sounds like a semi turbo whining behind you lol

Michael IoiaMay 30, 2012On some levels I have to agree with jester. With a quick glance this would easily be confused for a "hooked up" Lotus. To me a car that would fetch a mil should be unique like the Veyron, Enzo or CCX which would never be confused for something else.

Patrick SchalkMay 30, 2012Jester I don't know where to begin with your comment. You really think no one is gonna stare at this car going down the road? Do you know the performance specs of this car?

jesterMay 30, 2012OK, I finally found something I really like about this car: the stitching on the pads.
So far the rest isn't worth a million to me. I think its being artificially kept high due to a very small run. If they were doing 100 cars, this would be 600 large, and would be about right for what it is. For 1.1mil I want something that will be noticed, this is too easy to ignore and looks like a kit. Sorry S...

grow a beard, cut the hair, lose the bling and skinny jeans...
would you still look like a zombie/witch?
